HC Deb 05 May 1932 vol 265 c1266
63. Mr. MANDER

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether reports from observers in Manchuria are still being received by the League of Nations; how many have been received during the last two months; and whether they are being published?

Sir JOHN SIMON

The League Commission of Inquiry is, as my hon. Friend knows, now in Manchuria, and has already forwarded a report. I am not aware of any reports from neutral observers other than the League Commission during the period mentioned.

Mr. MANDER

Do I understand from the right hon. Gentleman that the observers have officially ceased to function during the last few months?

Sir J. SIMON

I do not think that I can add to my answer.
